ST ISHMAELS fell just short in their run chase on Saturday (July 3) as Carew secured victory by 15 runs.

Tish won the toss and chose to bowl first and they were able to bowl Carew out for 178.

Carew lost Tim Hicks and Nick Davies early on, both to the bowling of Brennan Devonald, as they slipped to 31-2.

Lewis Hicks and Nick Scourfield shared 41 runs before the third wicket fell. Devonald was involved again, this time taking the catch to dismiss Hicks on a score of 25 and give Andrew Pawlett his first wicket.

Scourfield and Ian Sefton shared another 30 runs for the fourth wicket but when Sefton was caught by Peter Bradshaw off the bowling of Lewis Rhead it sparked a mini-collapse.

That left the home side on 102-4 but they soon found themselves on 122-8.

Luke Hicks fell in similar fashion to Sefton for a third-ball duck and Jonathan Pawlett then bowled Scourfield.

Scourfield had hit seven fours in a score of 49 before he was dismissed.

Ceri Brace was then trapped leg before by Jonathan Pawlett and soon after James Hinchcliffe fell the same way to the bowling of Rhead.

Iori Hicks and Sam Harts steadied the ship and they were able to share 45 runs for the ninth wicket.

Hicks hit three fours and a six in his score of 32 from 21 balls before he was caught by Jonathan Pawlett off the bowling of Devonald.

Harts hit a four and a six in his score of 22 but he was caught and bowled by Rhead to bring the innings to a close in the 41^st over.

It meant that Tish would need 179 to win but they lost wickets at regular intervals early on in their reply and they soon found themselves on 66-5.

Lewis Rhead was the first to go as he was caught by James Hinchcliffe off the bowling of Sam Harts.

Jonathan Pawlett was next to go as he was also caught by Hinchcliffe off the bowling of Sion Jenkins.

Phil Cockburn was then trapped leg before by Iori Hicks who then also had Brennan Devonald caught by Lewis Hicks.

Andrew Pawlett was then caught and bowled Ceri Brace on a score of 14.

With five wickets down Tish were staring at defeat but opener Peter Bradshaw and Ieuan Hawkins shared 54 runs for the sixth wicket as they looked to get their side back in the game.

Bradshaw had reached his half century but Hawkins, who had made a score of 22, was then bowled by Brace.

Bradshaw shared another 30 runs with James Hall but Hall was sent back to the pavilion after being caught by Nick Davies off the bowling of Brace.

Brace then caught and bowled Peter Thomas to reduce Tish to 151-8.

Bradshaw had hit five fours and four sixes in his knock of 91 and he looked well set to reach his century.

It wasn’t to be though as he was bowled by James Hinchcliffe to all but end Tish’s hopes of victory.

Robbie Thomas and Graham Ninnis took over but they were unable to help Tish to their target as Carew held on to secure victory.

Cwmamman United stun Tenby AFC in an unforgettable 3-3 thriller to reach the last sixteen of the West Wales Intermediate Cup

Cwmamman Utd 3 Tenby AFC 3 (Cwm win 3–2 on pens)

AN EXTRAORDINARY cup tie unfolded at Grenig Park as Cwmamman United and Tenby AFC shared a breathless 3-3 draw, before the hosts edged through 3–2 on penalties.

Tenby struck almost instantly, with Lloyd Hughes finding the net inside the opening minute. Cwm hit back on 14 minutes when Cam Isaac produced a superb finish to level the tie, but Joe Leahy restored Tenby’s lead before the break – a goal that for long spells looked like it might settle the contest.

Deep into stoppage time, however, Cwmamman refused to accept defeat. In the 100th minute, Jackson Brereton pounced to smash home an equaliser and force extra time.

The drama only intensified. Tenby were awarded a hotly disputed penalty in the 114th minute, converted confidently by Hughes. The spot-kick also saw Cwm’s Kieran Rees – who had been excellent alongside Kai O’Donnell at the heart of the defence – shown a red card.

But with virtually the last kick of the game, Cwm’s goalkeeper Kai Rees strode forward for a final desperate attack and unleashed a stunning 25-yard volley to make it 3-3, sparking wild celebrations around the ground.

Rees was far from finished. In the decisive shootout, he produced two superb saves to secure a 3–2 penalty win and send Cwmamman United into the last sixteen of the West Wales Intermediate Cup.
